turns out the reason for the post error on my 5155 was
because the head was
sticking and couldnt do the initial seek, thus causing the 601 post. tony was
right! i didnt bother with greasing it and swapped out an identical floppy
drive from an extra pcjr. anyone want a pcjr unit for the price of shipping?
This sounds like a version of the problem I have with the drive in my PCjr.
Basically, the drive appears to step past either track 0 or track 40 (not
sure which) and won't work correctly until after the head is manually moved
back toawrds the middle. After that, it works until a bad seek occurs
(usually from trying to boot with no disk).
